Alex Ferguson: "Dynamo will be wanting to win the match and I expect them to have a go"

Dynamo vs. Man. United. MU manager Alex Ferguson pre-match press conference HIGHLIGHTS

Vidić fit

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Saturday's 4-1 triumph at Aston Villa FC as "probably our best performance of the season" and received another boost on Monday when Serbia centre-half Nemanja Vidić was cleared to play following concussion. Gerard Piqué is likely to make way.

'Best scenario'

The champions are playing second fiddle to Arsenal FC in the Premier League, but blazing a trail at the top of Group F with maximum points and seeking an early passage into the knockout rounds. "The best thing to do is to try and approach the game trying to win it because the rewards are great for us," Sir Alex said. "They will be wanting to win the match and I expect them to have a go. We see it as an opportunity because Roma and Sporting have a double-header. From our point of view we hope they take points off each other."

In-form partnership

The Wayne Rooney-Carlos Tévez partnership drew praise from the coach: "They [Dynamo] are exceptionally good footballers, are strong and a real threat to defenders. They have to be in consideration simply because their form is so good. We may go with three players in the middle, as we did in Lisbon. That is certainly a possibility."
